St Petersburg authorities plan to use homeless in Ukraine war

Previously, St Petersburg officials have been unable to recruit enough volunteers, even after offering sign-up bonuses and waiting for months.  Also, the most poor and remote regions of Russia are pretty much depleted, even with Russia's new relaxed standards.

The war is going so well for Russia that they're running low on bodies to throw into the meat grinder.

And you just know that homeless people plus "abbreviated" training and less-than-stellar equipment are going to be top-notch soldiers. /s

The Ukrainian soldiers who have already seen months of intense fighting and received some foreign training on their shiny new western weapons are going to eat them for breakfast.

Yikes!  Fox News says we are "uncomfortably low" on ammo. Where can we ever get any more?  Actually, I think we are just rotating our stock like the grocery stores.

I'll pray for us.

OK, that's done, so we'll be fine now...I hope...

Maybe we could buys some ammo from the teenagers around here. They seem to have plenty.

Ukraine's Drones Are Back—And Blowing Up Russian Artillery In The South

Ukraine has methodically been destroying air defense in the south and its strikes in Crimea scared away the brave, civilian-bombing Russian pilots, who were forced to redeploy elsewhere, mostly in eastern Ukraine or Russian territory.

The end result is that Ukrainian drones can operate with less risk near Kherson, where they've been very effective in clearing away Russian artillery, logistics vehicles, and invaders (hence the noticeably elevated causality figures recently).  Ukraine released footage of two such strikes recently.  The results were very impressive.  Direct hit, utter annihilation.  10/10.

Ukrainian forces destroy 3 artillery, an ammo warehouse, and chase off a company of Russian soldiers (estimated 130-150 soldiers)

QuoteThe Russian wounded were taken to medical facilities near Borozenske, Kherson Oblast. Due to the inappropriate level of medical care, most of the wounded died from their injuries."
I don't have the article but I remember reading about Russia opening up a new field hospital in the Kherson area because the others were too overbooked and I was shocked by the minimal medical care, which was much lower than even I expected.

Evidently, a considerable portion of the losses are more from inadequate medical care than from being killed outright.  That might be driving up casualty figures as well.

QuoteThe Ukrainian General Staff also reported that the Russian company, which had been based in the "Zahublenyi svit" sports club, left Kherson and took looted property in 5 tented trucks to temporarily occupied Crimea.
Based in a sports club, looting galore, abandons position when things get difficult in "tented trucks".  A lot to unpack there.  My fervent hope is that they run into a landmine or chechens under orders to shoot deserters on sight before they make it to the relative safety of Crimea with their ill-gotten gains.

A lone, shrill voice containing bitter tears: The Kremlin cries about US coming to the aid of invaded country

Perhaps Russia should abandon its land-grab ambitions now as a gesture of goodwill?  That would effectively end US involvement.

Anyone who has been watching this conflict brewing with even a sliver of insight understands that Russia set the stage for the very conditions that it is now complaining about.
